We’re having our own photo contest…

I was reading on someone’s flickr page today that they were saving up for a digital SLR and came up with the brilliant idea of having a contest to give one away. We have this old Canon 5D we haven’t used in over a year (we have taken many many photos with it so it’s by no means brand new but is in great condition) and instead of letting it just hang there we decided to give it away to a photographer in need of a new camera. Here’s how it works… First, join the Day19 Facebook group @ Day19FacebookGang and then send your five favorite lo-res (500px wide @ 72dpi is good) photographs (should be obvious, but it’s photographs of your own) to [email protected]. You have to be a member of the Facebook Day19 gang to enter. Why? Because. Second, we’ll pick out our top 5 favorites and post them on this here blog with your information and everything and people can vote on who wins. The winner can then trade us a big print (the contest is really to get something new that we like to hang on our wall) of the photo for that lovely Canon 5D with the fancy grip on the bottom. Sound good? You have to send us photos by July 15th, we’ll post them shortly after.
New! Our friends at Crumpler Bags have jumped on board and are giving away a free photo bag to the winner as well.

I have wanted an SLR forever!! I’m sooo in for this contest!
Amazing 🙂 Im sending my pictures right now but I can’t decide for only five. can I send like two more? 😉
I want this camera so bad 😀 It will be my first dsrl. Whoaa i want it badly.
I’m so nervous.
Awe.
Only four days left.
Good luck on picking 5 photos.

Wow guys …
So nice 🙂
damn on the weekend I took probably my best picture ever-a double rainbow reflecting in a pond-I already was sending my 5 pictures so it’s a little too late for this one:( anyways, I still hope (well everyone here does it) I can win this camera-would be a huge step forward:) you guys are amazing!
What a beaut idea! I could so do with a 5D. I’m just finishing my selection of images right now and will have them sent in a minute or two. This is cool and exciting all at once in equal doses.
: )
great contest
i wish i knew about this earlier! im so in need of a new camera since my only one was stolen off my car =[
Did ya’ll figure out how to do that pool thingy?
POLL thingy… oops.
Think so.
Can i send pictures with more than 72dpi and 500px wide? I think that the details of the photos are all gone when i compress the photo to the resolution required. Can I send the pictures lat’s say…with 1000px wide and 72dpi? please answer me as soon as you can, I know you must be very busy also. Answer me herer or send me an e-mail please.
Thanks!
holy hell. i hope i can enter til the end of the day tomorrow.

Thank you for the great initiative ))

Sent mine a few days back! This is has been fun non the less. Cant wait to see the picked favorites to vote on. (hope mine is in there 😉 good luck everyone, only a few hours left!)
i probably won’t win but im excited to see everyones photos that are picked!
winning this 5D camera would be my biggest dream but I wish everyone else the best though. we all want it but just one gets it-the good thing on such kind of contest is it will inspire us all to get better and better and even if we don’t win this time maybe we can win someday a contest…:) that’s what the life is about always look forward and never give up…sounds so damn smart but I thought I have to add it here lol
Some amazing photography!
I vote for the Wes Frazier image!!
